December 28th Humor

@ My grandfather was sipping a beer when he confessed to me that he drank more than usual the day before.  “What is more than usual?” I asked.  “A case.”  “You  drank a case of beer in a day?”   “Well,” he grumbled defensively, “it doesn’t take all day.”

If you had purchased $1000 of AIG stock eight years ago you would have $42 left. Lehman brothers, you would have to $6.66 left. With Fannie and Freddie would’ve had less than five dollars left. But if you purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned the cans and for the recycled aluminum refund you would have $14. Based on this information, my best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. It is called your 401keg.
